CONFETTI

He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've.
The story's getting closer to the end.
He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've.
He'd rather be alone than pretend.


She just wanted him to love her but he didn't.
He took to the woods and wandered in it.
Walked along and on until they couldn't.
Stole himself to tell her that he wouldn't.

RUDDERLESS

Waiting for some thin' to break.
Left my heart out to bake.
Nothing there in my glass.
Wasn't air meant to last.

Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.

All the way down to the lake,
(Found the lake was wet).
How much more could I take,
(Better yet).
Walked back home to my place,
(Tired of getting high).
Guess I don't wanna die.

Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.

Waiting for some thin' to break.
Left my heart out to bake.

Slipped my mind that I could use my brain.
I'll stay up all night and crash on the plane.

Ship without a rudder's
like a ship without a rudder's
like a ship without a rudder.

Ship without a rudder's
like a ship without a rudder's
like a ship without a rudder's
like a ship without a rudder's
like a ship without a rudder's
like a ship without a rudder's
like a ship without a rudder.


INTO YOUR ARMS

I know a place where I can go when I'm alone
Into your arms
Whoa, into your arms
I can go

I know a place that's safe and warm from the crowd
Into your arms, whoa
Into your arms

And If I should fall ...
I know I won't be alone.
Be alone anymore


 

IT'S A SHAME ABOUT RAY

I've never been too good with names.
The cellar door was open, I could never stay away.
I know it's prob'ly not my place.
It's either or, I'm hoping for a simple way to say.

It's a shame about Ray.
In the stone, under the dust, his name is still engraved.
Some things need to go away.
It's a shame about Ray.

If I make it through today,
I'll know tomorrow not to put my feelings out on display.
I'll put the cobwebs back in place.
I've never been to good with names, but I remember faces.

It's a shame about Ray
In the stone under the dust his name is still engraved
Some things need to go away
It's a shame abuot Ray


MRS ROBINSON

And here's to you Mrs Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know,
whoa-whoa-whoa.
God bless you please Mrs Robinson,
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
hey-hey-hey
hey-hey-hey.

We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files.
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself.
Look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes,
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home.

And here's to you Mrs Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will, know,
whoa-whoa-whoa.
God bless you please Mrs Robinson,
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
hey-hey-hey
hey-hey-hey.

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it shout about it when you got to choose
Every way you look at it you loose

Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio,
A nation turns It's lonely eyes to you,
whoa-whoa-whoa
Whats that you say Mrs. Robinson,
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away,
hey-hey-hey
hey-hey-hey


MY DRUG BUDDY

She's coming over, we'll go out walking,
Make a call on the way.

She's in the phone booth now, I'm looking in.
There comes a smile on her face.

There's still some of the same stuff we got yesterday.
There's still some of the same stuff we got yesterday, yeah.

I'm too much with myself, I wanna be someone else.
I'm too much with myself, I wanna be someone else.
I'm too much with myself, I wanna be someone else.

So we take off out Fiona's door,
Walk until it's light outside,
Like before when we were on the phone.

We have to laugh to look at each other.
We have to laugh 'cause we're not alone.

As the cars fly up King St.
It's enough to startle us,
It's enough to startle us

I love my drug buddy. My drug, my drug buddy.
I love my drug buddy. My drug, my drug buddy.


IT'S ABOUT TIME

Bite my tongue
and I won't say a word against anyone
but I don't wanna get my fingers wet
unless it's an accident

fell out on the street
now I'm watching my shoes and I grit my teeth
but I don't have to look that way
if I had half a say

It's about time
It's about time
lick my lips
and I won't hear the end of this

On your knees a reassurance
buy some time and come back for it

before long
before it's gone

patience is like bread I say
I ran out of that yesterday

it's about time
it's about time

enough about us
let's talk about me
if not about you
It's not about sunshine
It's about time
It's about time
touch my leg
It's smooth but there stubble there

I'll fall back and let'em go
only when I know you know

I don't know
make me sure

Have your people contact mine
and keep your lawyer on the line

it's about time (x4)


 

 

BIG GAY HEART

Take a look into some big grey eyes
and ask yourself you wanna make 'em cry
Lookin' out of them it's just as well
but you're gonna live to see I'm gonna ask you why
Either way you got a bone to pick
can't you leave that to somebody else?
I don't need you to suck my dick
or to help me feel good about myself

Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart
Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart

Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me
Do you have to try to piss me off 'cause I'm easy to please
Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me
Yeah while I understand now you're not with the big gay scene

If you can find a way to add it up,
it might be hard but it might be enough
I'd be grateful, I'd be satisfied,
and you might find in time it wouldn't feel so bad
After all it doesn't take that much
and it would mean the sum to me
for you to lose the part that's still afraid
and not prepared to see

My big gay heart in the dark, my big gay heart
Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart

Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me
Do you have to try to piss me off just 'cause I'm easy to please
Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me
Yeah while I understand now you're not with the big gay scene

Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart
Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart
My big gay heart in the dark, big gay heart
My big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart


IF I COULD TALK I'D TELL YOU

Half past 9
quarter to 10
10:15 and we're comin' around again

hold off are we going soft?
flushed my Zoloft and we're comin' around again

found out and I almost drowned
walked back down and we're comin' around again

If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'd let you know
If I could talk I'd tell you
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend

Khmer Rouge genocide qua
your place or Mein Kamph now I'm givin the dog a bone
slight hunch without the vaugest clue
to keep the blood balanced now we're comin around again

1/2 past 9
quarter to 2
10:15 now we're comin' around again

If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'd let you know
If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'd let you know
you are far and away
my most imaginary friend


THE GREAT BIG NO

Lover don't turn your head.
Just let me walk away.
I thought I might have to say,
you're asking the wrong guy.

She wonders how.
Thinks she knows now.
She'll be right.
They always go
bye the bye.
The great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.

Is nothing okay with you.
Is nothing okay with me.
Is anything happening to have to go to sea.
He wonders why.
The indigo guy,
He'll be right.
They always go
bye the bye.
The great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.

Everyone knows everything
Everyone knows everything
Nobody, nobody has got no one to go to.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Whoah (Lover don't turn your head.)
Lover don't turn your head.
No. (Lover don't turn your head.)
Is nothing okay with you?


IT'S ALL TRUE

I haven't cried baby since I learned to talk
Haven't fallen down since I learned to walk
And I don't get bored watching the tube
And I never had a rock in my shoe

And if I tried baby, would you mess me 'round?
Would we both get bored by the simple sound
Sorry about dropping that lude
It just seemed like the best thing to do

It's all true
I got me
She's got you
And we got time to share a few

You never get me down when I'm feeling blue
When I tell you lies you won't believe they're true
Now I really should be on my way
Think I'm gonna stick around all day

It's all true
I got me
She's got you
And we got time to share a few

She's so precise with her exacto knife
She's gonna take her life

I don't wake up with a sudden start
With some empty arms and a broken heart
And I don't get bored watching the tube.


RIDE WITH ME

That pencil smell,
reminds me of school.
The clock on the wall
I can no longer fool.

Time to get in my car.
Been so dull, tired and tight.
Time to trust these old tires.
Time to not say goodnight.

Jesus rides with me.
His will is plain to feel.
Come on, you can be.
Got yourself to steal.

He's everywhere,
sends me straight across the plain.
He's in your hair,
he'll forgive me my pain.

You're my girl, don't you show it.
To know you know is to know it.
When you can't trust yourself,
baby, trust someone else.

Jesus rides with me.
His will is plain to feel.
Come on, you can be.
Got yourself to steal.

You're my girl, don't you show it.
To know you know is to know it.
When you can't trust yourself,
baby, trust someone else.

Ride with me.
Ride with me.
Ride with me.
